Work.
I am burdened with guilt! I must confess how I resorted to grave and terrible measures in order to make myself some money.

It began with small steps. Schooling. Learning maths and science. Unfortunately, I got addicted to it, and went onto A-levels in the same.

This was only the beginning. Then, I ended up going to university to study Chemistry. And then onto a PhD! Finally, I got myself a job, where I'll get paid a decent wage!

If that's not making money fast, I don't know what is. It only took twenty years of education!

Agree
However, I started out my working life on a £450 a month salary, moved in with my ex wife when we bought our first flat together in 1991 (£27500). I'm now on quite a bit more than that, yet with spiralling fuel, energy and food costs, I think I'm actually worse off than I was 17 years ago.

Bastards.

I'm glad it worked out for you
Unfortunately, there are so many people who put themselves through years of education, only to find that there are no actual jobs available in their chosen field.

Glad to read about people who are an exception! :)

Exception
No, I just got lucky. There's few jobs around here in my field :S
